But I've never played Yahoo so I don't know if the mechanics are the same.<br /><br />Theoretically drafting the top shotblockers and stealers works, but you may take a dent in other areas that offset the gain over the course of a full season. I've found you can do fine with a more balanced approach (guys like Paul George) who give you solid, but not great, production in every category - then you work the waiver wire and pick up specialists in areas you might be laggin in. Injuries are such a factor, and so many people give up early on underperforming stars or sleep on potential waiver wire studs, I find being the most active wins more than having the best draft.<br /><br />In ESPN head 2 head unfortunately it's plug and play over the course of a week with each team getting 7 add/drops and with no game limits per slot...so you can manipulate any stats by playing more games than your opponent (basically adding guys who play the most games in a week dropping those that play the least). For those reasons I'm not a big fan of H2H and only do it in one league per season (you can have up to 10). <br /><br />And I completely agree blocks and assists should count in 1-n-Done.

But I played five years of Yahoo fantasy... Are the mechanics the same? I could draft a shotblocker and two pesky defenders, and I'd own steals and blocks in most head-to-head weeks. Draft the top 2 shotblockers and stealers and I could own those stats for the whole roto season. Especially if FGs are sacrificed.Taong Gagambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172021582832968662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-77471791927025407382013-05-19T11:48:36.931-07:002013-05-19T11:48:36.931-07:00I've been saying that for a couple of years no...I've been saying that for a couple of years now - why dont they include blocks and steals in the game like in the ESPN Fantasy Game during the season? <br />It would be really great and would give you even more options to choose from and players like Ibaka or Conley would be even more valuable for their defensive contributions. <br />When I first heard about the 1-n-Done Game I really hoped they included the defensive stats, cause D2TF has never done it these past years...Silasnoreply@blogger.com
